The default installations of Apache will set this up using the
logrotate script. If you don’t have this configured automatically
or if you’re using a non-standard installation (cPanel, Plesk, etc.)
you can configure this in logrotate.
/etc/logrotate.d/httpd:
/path/to/httpd/logs/*log {
missingok
notifempty
sharedscripts
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat
/path/to/httpd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null ||
true endscript
}
Of course, update paths correctly and test appropriately.
